How to remove section break continues in MS Word?

[Sam1085]

Hi,

I have a document with few section break types such as 'Next Page', 'Continues', 'Even page' and 'Odd page'. I tried to remove a section break 'Continues' but if I delete that then the section break 'Continues' moving to the previous page. Seems like converting the other types of Section Break types into the 'Continues' break.

I need to know this scenario is a word bug? and is there any workaround to remove 'Continues' section break without changing other types of section break?

Thank you!

See Working with sections for an explanation of this behavior, and a workaround.

Another way of dealing with the issue is to select anything after the Section break you want to change, then run the following macro:

Code: Select all

Sub MakeSectionBreakContinuous()
ActiveDocument.Sections(Selection.Sections(1).Index).PageSetup.SectionStart = wdSectionContinuous
End Sub

Thank you both of you... It worked and now I have an idea about why this happen.
Thanks again.
